me as well, sure seems as if the <6 day min has not been offered in awhile.

Welp, since I'm now officially moving to Singapore, I suppose I should put myself down as a "yes" on this one. :D
(and it's the perfect weekend, right before classes start, too!)

Booked the Hilton 5 Jan to 8 Jan 230 SGD.

Conrad was more than double.

I think you have the wrong dates booked. SIN DO is the following weekend.

I will be there! Award tickets! :p

Please count me down as a maybe. :)

I'm Confirmed.
 

Jan. 12 UA 6451 RNO-SFO
.......... UA 837 SFO-NRT
Jan. 13 UA 891 NRT-SIN

Jan.16 UA 890 SIN-NRT-LAX
......... UA 857 LAX-SFO
......... UA 6438 SFO-RNO.

mjm - I'm looking forward to meeting you at the NRT RCC again. :) Thank you for organizing this again.

I've been watching these UA fares for 6 months, hoping they might fall. Instead they have been gradually rising. So I finally decided to "bite the bullet" and ticket. Fortunately I was still able to upgrade to business (NC) on above routing. The prospect of 18 hours in coach is a sobering one (which I have indeed done once). There is currently no NC seating available on UA852 NRT-SFO Jan.16, for instance - however it is available on the later flight UA838 NRT-SFO.

Evening Performance Dates are : Thurs 12, Fri 13, Sat 14, Wed 18, Thurs 19, Fri 20, Sat 21 email me for more info !

I'm with you Sweet Willie, has anyone seen the < d day min in the last couple of months? I thought fares would come down a little instead of steadily climb.
All the best,
wwbgd

Not since the sale fares UA ran last summer for travel around late August. The current ex-ORD fares aren't much higher than what's been pricing out most of this year for Q fares (at least for what I've been seeing since February).

I've been checking SIN fares several times a week for months and still no love. :(

Can't make it to SIN this time around. Have fun for me.

I got excited over SFO-SIN fare at www.singaporeair.com of $623, only to realize the Fare Information said "Mileage Accruability: no."

Keep an eye out for NRT fares, as AA keeps extending their validity (SJC-NRT $519 plus taxes). Right now they go out to Dec 14, and hopefully will go out to January pretty soon. I have an award ticket booked NRT-SIN-NRT hoping those NRT fares go down and I can grab one.

Sadly, I will no longer be able to make this event. :(

Hmm, only found this thread today. Put my on a maybe. As long as I ams still self-employed. I'm surely able to make it. The FTers will surely will snap up anything cheap from any airlines at this date!

UA's done it and I am oh so close to pulling the trigger except for that damn 6 day min. 5 days would be perfect. Greedy so and sos. ;)

The security folks at the Sheraton will sure be disappointed not to get a show this year ;)

The pdx-nrt fare supposedly had a 3 day not 6 day stay requirement.

extended vacation?
:D

"MIN STAY

6 DAYS. MEASURED FROM DPTR FROM GATEWAY."

Alas, no. But the fare has dropped to $304+ for M-TH travel.

Added: At least one ticketing agency, orbitz, does NOT seem to be enforcing this minimum. :cool:

Thanks!

Burns: "I want you out of this office immediately! And don't bother coming in Monday!"

Homer: "WooHoo! Three day weekend!"

Spiff, where did you find the $304 fares? Everything Punki is finding is over $1,000.00.

Travelocity's cheapest PDX-NRT base fare is $354+ on UA.

Ticketed and confirmed...

1/12 UA 869 SFO-HKG
1/13 UA 895 HKG-SIN
1/16 UA 890 SIN-NRT
1/16 UA 852 NRT-SFO

Hope you booked it. It doesn't appear to be showing up now.

I'm in (booked/confirmed)

All,

I have a lot of updates to make to the page I can see. I shall get to it soon I assure you. I am reading every post to the tthread, but life has been a bit hectic.

Back to all of you soon,

Mike

Also booked. Confirmed u/g on AC YYZ-HKG-YYZ. Now I just have to figure out how to u/g my HKG-SIN SQ connecting flights!

I am definite. SQ First award using Delta miles. ZH!!!

I'm now booked. My intinerary is:
Then I don't fly again until 20JAN. ;) Yes, I do make it back to VNO before the end of the month, but not without many thousands of miles of backtracking.

So, I'm in for everything including the Friday night snack.

Looks like I may be in Singapore after all - it's my home from home and I'm there in early Jan at least. Hope to finally meet some of you!

Just called the UA HNL reservations center for a price qoute LAX-SIN (with 20 hour stopover in HKG). $1314 or so for an H fare (upgradable using miles). FYI UA 960 SIN-LAX was waitlisted for upgrades on 16 Jan.

hi guys,
i'll try to join the party.
not sure yet... probably i will be in SIN only sat evening (inbound from JKT).
cheers.

Hey Mike,

I spotted this thread a while back and have been searching for decent priced J flights from the UK. ^

Well, they just came through and I have booked myself flights as follows:

BA15 LONDON - SINGAPORE 12 JAN 21:45
BA16 SINGAPORE - LONDON 15 JAN 22:40

Can't make the safari, but count me in for the other events. :D

Just checked the Conrad for 13/1 to 16/1 and rates are down to $260 (weekend) for exec floor. $200 for regular room

Try also this:
http://www.hilton.com/AsiaFreeNight (thanks to Savage25)

Rate is $265 for regular room $325 for exec at the Hilton

Interestingly, presidential suite is available too......$1,775 if you're up for it ^

There's a decent rate at the Singapore Marriott if you are in the MarriottRewards program. Rate M11 is $204 Singapore, or $225 SIN if you want breakfast included.

The way these do's go... where you spend all of 3 hours in your room a night, at $1,775, that's gotta be not very good bang for your buck. :D

Please add me a s a possible maybe - may be working in KUL the following week.
